Published to mark Sebastian Moore's 90th birthday, The Contagion of Jesus introduces an extraordinary theological vision.
'To so many people the Christian story, half-understood, seems all too familiar, even boring. How would it be for the newly arrived man from Mars, or woman from Venus, to discover this amazing radical story for the first time - a story so incredible that it can only be believed 'in the Spirit'? What would it be like to experience the contagion of Jesus for the very first time?'
Moore himself describes this book 'as passionate rather than rigorous theology, representing a cri de coeur to the teaching church to 'think again'. One day I am sure that it will do so and will throw off the influence of St Augustine and its own taboos and rediscover its own deep wisdom concerning sexuality and relationship. All will be well in the end.'
